Freedom House Sober Living Program Overview

What to Bring to Freedom House

Appropriate Clothing: Prepare for the varied Las Vegas climate by packing both warm and cool weather attire, including layers like sweaters for cooler indoor temperatures. We restrict each resident to 8 pieces of each type of clothing, two pairs of shoes, and two headwear items (bandanas are prohibited). Laundry facilities are available, with powdered laundry detergent provided.

Reading Material: Bring books or magazines that promote a positive outlook and are supportive of your recovery journey.

Prescription Medications: Must be kept in their original prescription bottles for verification during intake.

Essentials: Don’t forget your driver’s license or ID and your insurance card.

Additional Permissible Items

• Drinks in plastic bottles with sealed lids.
• Pre-packaged snacks.
• Personal toiletries for daily use.
• Unopened cigarette packs or cartons, and brand-new, unopened vapes.

What NOT to Bring

• Energy drinks and drinks in aluminum cans.

• Weapons of any kind, including firearms.
• Opened vape products or inappropriate clothing.
• Homemade items made outside of the facility.

Valuables and Security

While bringing items of significant value is discouraged due to our no liability policy for lost or stolen items, you will have access to a locked drawer for everyday items and secure lock boxes managed by staff for high-value possessions.
